Julie’s all ready for her next big trip with her “Professional Tote Bag”. It’s perfect with zippered compartments for her passport and iPad, side pockets for water bottles, and plenty of inside pockets for general “stuff”. Julie even added a fob inside to keep track of her keys! Monogramming on the front gives this bag a personal touch.

Colleen made this Double Wedding Ring quilt for her daughter’s wedding in August. It’s made out of all her daughter’s riding shirts. Those of you who have daughters who love horses (like I do!) will understand how special this quilt is!

Play Sudoku with your quilt blocks like Madelyn did and come up with a great lap quilt. Nine patches with colors that symbolize numbers. The pattern is from a book called Sudoku Quilts by Barbara Hershey.

Former staff member, Nancy, was in town for the week-end and stopped by to pick out the perfect backing fabric for this quilt she appliquéd and pieced from a pattern by Terri Clothier Thompson. What a great quilt!

I wonder what goodies there were this Saturday at the Show and Tell. I didn't get there but I will post the show and tell soon.Here are the July beauties.Tina finished her six inch blocks for the 2011 Sat. Sampler. Love these little blocks.

Susan calls this quilt “ Reverse Square”. Nice job, Susan.

Nicole was super busy this month. She brought in three quilts to show.

“Raegan’s Quilt” which is the Ohio Star block repeated set block to block. Someone will be happy to own this one. “Blakes Quilt” is a scrappy Log Cabin that Mary Ellen tried to claim for her grandson. “Ladybug Picnic” is for Sarah. It is a split 9-Patch with freehand appliqué lady bugs. How cute is this. I’m sure Sarah will love it.

Jenny took the Professional Tote class with Jackie and made this great bag. Wish you could all see it. We fell in love with it.

Nancy's monogrammed our 'faux leather' and made this nifty e-book cover. Looks great and protects your Kindle or Nook. We have some of this unbelievably interesting faux leather fabrics available, including a stunning kit for a tote bag using the Atkinson Designs pattern Zippy Strippy.

Once upon a time...

Three ladies met at Quilt Guild. They started making small quilts as wall hangings. These "little quilts" became so popular and before the girls knew it, they were selling them. The three ladies were so busy making small quilts, in 1986, they decided to sell kits so people could make thier own "little quilts." Not too long after that, they started designing thier own patterns. What started out as a "hobby" turned into a "little" business of selling kits and patterns. The three ladies wanted to be able to offer more to thier customers so in 1998, Little Quilts opened in an old corn mill in Marietta... and the rest, as they say, is history.
